Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's very snappy and quite intriguingly played by a cast that has been well and smartly directed by Jacques Tourneur.
Fresh: Direction by Jacques Tourneur pays close attention to mood development, achieving realistic flavor that is further emphasized by real life settings and topnotch lensing by Nicholas Musuraca.
Fresh: Each change of angle and shift of light evokes an inner disturbance; the actors seem to push through the dense shadow as through water, revealing fast people in slow motion ...
Fresh: Cinematic perfection, a Hollywood classic that's as great and as enjoyable as its reputation has promised.
